The main form of public transport in Dublin are the green buses that operate across the city. Taxis are always in short supply, particularly when the bars close late in the evening, so it always pays to book in advance.
Thankfully, many of the city's attractions are located quite close together and can easily be walked between. Driving in the city is not a pleasant experience due to congestion throughout the day, however should you fancy exploring the country away from Dublin, hiring a car is an inexpensive option in Ireland.
